• Visible underlying muscle structures
• Absence of excess fat, sagging, and […]

Blepharoplasty can help eliminate the excess skin, excess fat, and tiny wrinkles noticeable in the eyelids.

Some people fail to achieve a flat tummy even after constant exercising. This is due to the deposition of stubborn fat that is resistant to diet or exercise.

The people mentioned above make excellent candidates for a cosmetic procedure called abdominoplasty, also known as the tummy tuck. This procedure is a surgery that helps sculpt and contour the patient’s abdomen.

Labiaplasty, or labial reduction surgery, is a surgical procedure that involves altering the size and shape of the skin folds around the vulva known as the labia majora and the labia minora.
As per scientific standards, women aged 18 to 50 years generally have inner labia, or labia minora, at an average length of 61 mm. However, in some women, this figure might be higher, leading to elongated labial folds that either hang loosely or appear too long for normal standards.
Women with this condition might often experience some level of physical discomfort when wearing tight undergarments, and might also end up […]
